at the concord station. that brought the strain line and traffic to a complete standstill. news chopper 2 was overhead when it happened. b.a.r.t. officials still don't know why that derailment happened. crews worked overnight to remove the derailed tank -- train. at 4:00 a.m. this morning, the work was complete and selves was restored. back out here live, there were

delays. when we talked to commuters this morning, they are relieved, they say. >> a lot. i was gonna be extremely wait. i can't be late for work. so i depend on b.a.r.t. -- b.a.r.t. >> reporter: once again, b.a.r.t. is trying to find out what caused that derailment yesterday. but here at the concord station, san francisco-bound trains are running as normal. police say another 1,000 bodies have washingtonned up along the northeast -- washed up along the northeast coastline. the-- near will 2 million survivors are without power and more than a million others have been without running water since friday. we're live in tokyo this

morning and jaw gnaw joins us now -- jana now joins us on skype. >> reporter: right now, the power company stated unprecedented new when they said they were gonna be doing some blackouts in a fairly large area of eastern japan. what they are fearing is that there is not enough power to go around they put a temporary hold on areas because many trains were stopped. so that helped them conserve the power. a lot of companies closed. they didn't have work today. because of all of the nuclear power plants, those offline they are really struggling to meet all of the power needs. so rolling blackouts. they say might have to continue through april, perhaps, just

because of the big power demand in a big high-tech country like this. that's gonna be a problem, especially with the trains that lie on electricity. we did see a lot of people that did is have a chaotic commute. >> i understand that 10 million people usually ride the trains in an around tokyo every day. that would just be devastating for everybody. >> reporter: absolutely. i lived here for five years right after college, and tori, let me tell you, you get on this train. it's a major mode of transportation. it would be like shutting down highways in the bay area and b.a.r.t. we're talking about trains people rely on to go to work and go to work. it's definitely caused some confusion. we saw a few restaurant shops

aftershocks, you know, that two of them actually came in as an alert on my cell phone that i've been using. so we're still feeling these aftershocks in tokyo to the point where it's shaking the hotel room or the jolting where we're doing interview. it's very unsettling to be here and not know when another one might come. i've been listening to the japanese news reports and also the news conference es navy been having, and a lot of things -- and news conferences navy been having and a lot a lot of things about another aftershock. so that's a concern. >> yes. nice to see you, jana. thank you. >> thank you. in japan itself, the time is just after 11:00 p.m.

had to say just about 45 minutes ago. >> reporter: the u.s. 7 fleet have moved its aircrafts further away from the troubled nuclear reactors. this is video that the defense department posted online of the relief operations from the uss ronald reagan. the aircraft has operating within about 100 miles within the damaged power plant when radioactive material was detected. the crew was exposed to about a month's worth of radiation. tests were conducted on helicopter crew members, about 17 of them, when they returned. they washed with soap and water. the navy says no more contamination was detected after that. the u.s. military, especially the navy, is playing a major role in the relief operations, providing food, water, transportation and other sport and in just the last hour, president obama said it would continue. >> like all americans, i

continue to be heartbroke be -- heartbroken by the images of japan. i know all of you, young and old, have been watching the full magnitude of this tragedy unfold. >> reporter: president obama says he's in touch with japan's prime minister and has assured him that united states will continue to provide whatever aid the japanese people need. reporting live from washington, d.c., alison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. nuclear experts here in california say the small amounts of radiation being released by the damaged nuclear power plant in japan do not pose a danger here. the u.s. nuclear regulatory commission says given the thousands of miles between california and japan, the u.s. west coast is not expected to experience any harmful levels of radio activity. also, this just in, germany has announced it will wait three months to decide whether to

expand the life of its nuclear power plants in light of what's happening in japan. 8:17. rescue teams still have not found the body of a man swept off to sea by the tsunami waves in northern california. relatives of dustin weber say the 25-year-old man had just moved to cretin city from bend, oregon. he-- crescent city, from bend oregon. he was starting a new life after battling drug addiction. he was pulled into the ocean along with two other men. the other men were rescued but weber is resumed to have -- presumed to have drowned. this the first tsunami death since 1964. that's when 11 people in crescent city died by a surge caused by a quake in alaska. today, santa clara county officials will announce a new emergency warning system that will lep warn people about -- help warn people about imminent

disasters. it's a voice text. it features an easy-to-use signup feature and will assure that that information gets out. the national website is upgrading a website. officials say the west coast and alaska tsunami site slowed to a crawl as a lot of people were trying to get in the system. well, secretary of state hillary clinton is now in paris, meeting with european leaders about the crisis in libya. secretary clinton will also lead with members of the opposition. >> no-fly zone! no-fly zone!

>> all of this comes tas the rebel fighters in libya continue to ask the international community to impose a no-fly scone. what california's top elected -- one of california's top elected officials is asking an individual to wear a tur ban. steinberg says wearing the tur ban would be a sign of solidarity after two sheik men were shot. the one died. other remains in the hospital. police believe the men could have been tanted because of their tur bans and -- targeted because of their turbans and long beards. >> whatever the motive, it's a

cowardly, despicable act. we've seen some incredible pictures from japan. a camera was rolling. it actually captured a road crippling the very moment that giant quake hit. good morning. northbound 880 is a mess because of a crash. we'll tell you more straight ahead.

officials say nuclear rods appear to be melting inside all three of the most troubled nuclear reactors. japan's chief cabinet secretary says although they cannot directly check it, it's highly likely to be happening. some consider this a partial meltdown. others say this would melt through the chamber but not through the outer containment shell. so again, the breaking news there's concern that there is a partial meltdown happening at all three of the nuclear power plants that have been severely damaged after the earthquake in japan. we'll bring you more developments on this story as we get them. we also have new video to show you of that very moment that quake hit japan on friday. look at this.

you can see the road cracking in front of your eyes from the intense shaking. these images are from the miyga prefect cheer. -- prefecture. seismologists with the u.s. geological association says in some places the land dropped in elevation because of that when the tsunami came rushing in, it just stayed there. that's why so many areas are still underwater. all right. 8:25. we want to check in with sal. the nasty nimitz living up to its name. 880 still a mess? >> it's terrible. we have an accident at 808 fruitvale in the fast lane. it was a non-injury crash. the vehicles are pretty smashed

up. the problem is the tow trucks are stuck in the same traffic as these cars are. traffic is backed up all the way to san leandro. we are advising you to to avoid the nimitz. you should use 508 instead. let's go up to the tacoma. still pretty -- toll plaza. still pretty thick here. and farther down the nimitz freeway, traffic will be busy toward hayward. 8:26. let's go to steve. >> we do have some sun towards the south bay, mostly cloudy skies, and a little cooler towards the -- towards the north bay. there is a line of rain that has not really moved much in the last few hours.

areas of fog and temperatures in the 50s, mid-50s to some to near 60 degrees. this is shaping up what looks to be a rather active week and also the five. >> seven, and ten-day outlook is very bullish for rain. i will put this into motion and actually show you what's going on. from pittsburg, antioch, clayton, alamo, danville, cop cord, martinez and back over towards parts of the peninsula but a wider shot so there's -- shows some but not much. temperatures 40 to near 60. 5 mountain view. 55 fairfield. 52 napa. santarosa is the only 40 and that's the sonoma county airport. a lot of cloud cover that next system will be in here tuesday afternoon. we have a high advisory out there. that will take us in through tonight, a west-northwest swell 10 to 15 fee. and then finally, a clot of

clouds. very mild. tuesday night rain into wednesday off-and-on showers. same for thursday. and then a stronger system comes in. that one will be colder as we head into the weekend. 8:27. we're still following a potentially catastrophic development in that disaster in japan. also, from arlington, virginia to california a big focus on education today. the message these students are taking to sacramento today. at the same time, president obama is focusing on a major change on no child left behind.

japanese officials say the nuclear fuel rods appear to be melting inside all three of the nuclear reactors that were damaged in friday's quake. now, the chief cabinet secretary there said although we can't directly check it, it's highly likely happening. some of the experts responding to that this he would consider that a partial kneltdown of the nuclear reactor. others are saving that terms for the -- that term for times when the fuel melts through the chamber but not through the

outer containment form. s are, the shoppers are lined you. this is in sendai. the shoppers, once they got inside were able to get a few supply. they are desperate to get food. local leaders are trying to figure out a game plan about how to help out. here's more. >> reporter: good morning, tori. that's right. we're here in japantown in the from of the japanese cultural and community center. you can see there is a sign up

there. they are already publicizing that they have an earthquake relief fund that they have set up. right now we're joined by the executive director of the center. you are gonna be meeting in the next several hours with community hours. and what will you be talking about? >> we're calling with a noon meeting with the leaders to do a first check-in since the earthquake and tsunami happened on friday to see what kind of calls and responses people are getting to rely check in and to work out both immediate and long-term relief plan from the community. >> we were talking earlier and you said it's winter over there right now. you said it's extremely cold. do you know what sorts of things they need and what you are most concerned about? >> i was in sendai this march of 2009 and i know how cold it can get in northern japan. hundreds of -- hundreds of thousands are evacuated and we're getting calls and texts and comments on facebook

immediately. they need food, water, blankets, we'll be sending funds over this morning to a group of nonprofit organizations to get supplies in to the shelters and some of the areas that are most hardest hit and to look after seniors and children that are pretty vulnerable right now. >> this might be heartbreaking for you you said your family is not affected in your search. how can you -- how can people help? >> right now we're in desperate need of funds. so they can buy the supplies needed for the affected area.

the fund is available for those who feel there is a need to do something in this great disaster that we're facing right now. >> reporter: okay. thank you, paul, with the japanese cultural center here in japantown. and we will be keeping you updated on how you can help with the relief fund. >> for more information go to website, there is athe red cross, the salvation army and other charitable organizations that can use your help. 8:35. just within the last hour,

the way to san ramon. if you look at the map system, 880 is a mess. i don't know. really bad driving almost anywhere -- almost everywhere this morning. we do have big differences there. there's areas in the north bay where it's mostly cloudy. south bay, partly sunny, mostly sunny. right in the middle there's been a line of rain that's been hanging out. >> a lot of clouds this week. off and on rainle we'll get back into more rain for everyone by tuesday evening.

moderate rain is possible, especially north. this may be one of the warmest days of the week. step out of the way and i will show you what's going on. most of these are taking an aim towards the north. watch how this line, concord, walnut creek and back over towards oakland. right along highway 24. it went right back over the bay bridge, and then back over towards pacific and half moon bay, it looks like there is a few breaks in the clouds. last 24 hours, santa rosa,.5. petaluma and napa were close,. sfo and hayward .20. but there were some hestier amounts -- heavier amounts. ben lomond 1.15. dublin, .30. santarosa anywhere from .20 to

.10. this system will give us a lot of cloud cover, giving us a pretty good dose of rain. so some morning rain for some few. starting to let up. we'll turn to partly sunny, mostly cloudy, muggy, kind of humid out there. a mixed bag here. sun, clouds, and/or rain. 50s or 60s by most. sun and clouds. 56, 64. there would be a -- there could be a few light showers. we do have a high surf advisory again. that takes us through 11:00 tonight. temperatures mid-60s to upper 60s. sanrafael 64. brentwood, 67. redwood city, 6. pleasanton in there as well. tomorrow looks to be about the same on the temperatures rain will move in. here comes your stronger,

colder system for friday and saturday. 8:42. as we've been reporting there are now grave conditions about a nuclear melt jap in japan. what we've just -- meltdown in japan. what we've just learned in the last few minutes.

let's brick you up to date on tom of the -- brick you up to date on some of the top stories -- there's concerns that a nuclear fuel rods appear to be melting inside all three of the plants nuclear reactors. authorities have been struggling trying to cool off those rods. they've evacuated tens of thousands of residents in the area just in case of radiation leaks. back here at home, most of the santa cruz harbor is still closed because of tsunami damage. many of the 18 boats that sank there are not accounted for. the harbormaster says six dogs on the southwest side reopened last night -- docks on the west reopened last night. this is after the water and electrical supplies were checked out safely. the japan aircraft that was

in sing ga pore when they were alerted -- singapore when they were alerted about the disaster, we spoke with them. >> they loaded 90,000 aid disaster relief kits to support the efforts for going back to japan. japan's stocks are now closed bau they were down dramatically earlier today -- but they were down dramatically earlier today. tom vacar is live in san francisco with details on the economic effects of the disaster in japan and here in the u.s. tom? >> reporter: well, i think the first and most important thing to realize is that japan is a major supplier of many things in the united states, especially electronics. one of the things they make which is very important, flash chips and those things go into many, many different kinds of

electrical devices. so we'll see some increase in price for that, because that's a very competitive market. it could also affect the tv market, which is to say hd tvs and things like that. but more important, the supply chain has been disrupted. until that supply chain is back in order, it will affect all kinds of things that we don't even know about yet. >> what is the impact for consumers? >> well, i think the most important thing we'll notice is the lack of products and the increase in prices, primarily electronic products. but there could be different things impacted as well. japan is a major supplier of rice. if there is a significant export component that will be

an effect. >> you mentioned the exports of rice. potentially there could be less exporting to japan but possibly more because of what they are able to manufacture will certainly be limited? >> reporter: well, one of the things would have to do with finished gasoline. we know the refinery was daked. if a refinery sees that it can make more money selling finished gasoline by tanker into japan than it can, let's say here in the u.s. or other asian countries, then the price of finished gasoline goes up. and that will most definitely affect gasoline prices that are almost spiking. crude oil is down -- da is down, 99.90. it could have an impact on energy crisis. >> reporter: it could because when we had our gasoline shortages here, what happened here, finished gasoline was

coming into the port of san francisco and up towards the ben sheesh gnaw from -- benicia from finland and then up the panama canal. it will have an im-- have an impact. >> and what other industry might be affected? >> there's no question that -- even though the newer kinds of reactors are much safer than these older generation of reactors what's going on in japan right now can only be termed as devastating to the nuclear industry here. unless there are some very significant changes and differences, deend -- and depending upon what happens in japan with these potential meltdowns will tell a great tale about what happens here in

the united states. >> we've been reporting in the last 20 minutes, that some of those nuclear rods are fully exposed right now. so obviously a big concern. thank you, tom. it is ten minutes before 9:00. pg&e is facing a critical deadline tomorrow. state regulators are threatening to impose figure fines in the utility fails to produce records proving all of the gas a transmissions are safe. since then, workers have been looking through hundreds of thousands of documents stored at the cow palace. 8:51. last night, there was another powerful explosion about 3,000 miles away from san bruno and at least four people were hurt. this happened at a chemical plant in middleton, massachusetts, 25 miles outside

of boston. hazmat crews are performing tests and are miking sure the fumes don't create a health hazard to nearby homes. nine minutes before 9:00. we're-- we're gonna check in with weather, whether the rain will continue and also traffic problems. stay with us. we'll be right back. blah

federal investigators are trying to find out what caused

a new york tour bus crash that left 14 people dead. the bus was filled with tourists returning from a casino early saturday morning. police say the bus driver swerved and tipped on its side. the ntsb will be interviewing the driver and checking to see what he has doing in the hours before his crash. some people say the bus driver was very -- some people on board the bus say the bus driver was going very fast. robert garza collapsed without warning in an amateur basketball tournament in texas. his coach said he collapsed during a timeout just five minutes into game. he had just gotten a drink of water, and given a teammate a high-five. the cause of death is not

everywhere. it's terrible driving. let's go to steve. towards san jose there are a few sun -- sunbreaks and not together -- to the north it's cooler. showery pattern, and friday and saturday looks like rain again and turning colder. >> okay. we'll have to appreciate it as long as we can. >> that's right. and before we go, we want to take you out to the golden gate bridge. stay dry out there.
